    Meditation: Metta (Lovingkindness)

    Metta meditation, also known as loving-kindness meditation, is a simple practice for cultivating kindness and goodwill—toward yourself and others. It’s not about trying to force yourself to feel a certain way, but rather gently opening up to the natural warmth and care that’s already inside you. As we practice today, you’ll silently repeat some simple phrases, almost like planting seeds of kindness. And don’t worry if it feels a bit unusual at first—just stay open, curious, and relaxed. Over time, you might find this practice brings a bit more ease and connection into your everyday life. 00:00 Introduction 02:59 Meditation Practice Begins 16:14 A Few Closing Thoughts Check out https://naturaldharma.org/

    Meditation: "...Find Out What Remains"

    Our intention for this practice comes from Ramana Maharishi: Let what comes come Let what goes go Find out what remains

    Meditation: "What is this?"

    In this inquiry practice, we're going to use a simple question to anchor our attention on the present moment: "what is this?" The goal is to answer the question with our analytical, problem-solving mind, but to let the question work on us.

    Meditation: Focused Attention + Open Monitoring

    In this session, we are going to explore two modes of attention: focused awareness and open monitoring. I offer a short introduction to the practice for some context.

    Meditation: Resting with the Breath

    In this practice, we bring attention to the feeling of release that comes with each exhale and use that as a cue to diffuse tension in the body.

    Meditation: Simply Sitting

    In this short practice, I'm taking inspiration from two sources. The first is Joseph Golstein, who often uses the cue, "sit and know you're sitting." The second is Loch Kelly, from whom I borrow the cue, "what is here when there's no problem to solve?" This is a great practice to take off the cushion, to punctuate your day with small moments of mindfulness throughout the day. As the Tibetan's say, "small moments, many times."

    Meditation: Caring Moment + Letting Be

    In this session, we begin with a "caring moment" practice inspired by the work of John Makranski, whose work I highly recommend. We then go into a practice of letting things be just as they are, beginning with the body, then going to the breath, and finally to the openness of awareness itself.

    Meditation: Breath & Openness

    We'll begin with our attention on the breath to settle in and then let go of all our efforts to let everything be just as it is.

    Meditation: Short Grounding Practice

    In this short practice, we'll use the feeling of groundedness, of contact with the earth, as the object of meditation. This is inspired by The Wakeful Body by Lama Willa Baker.

    Meditation: Six Anchors

    In this practice, we'll explore what it's like to anchor the attention to a sensation or set of sensations. We'll start with the feet and then move to the hands, breath, and sounds. Treat this one as an experiment. What's it like to let your attention rest with one object? What's it like to return to your object when you've drifted off into thought? Which anchors do you find easiest to connect to?
